dunno about it on win10, but most versions of force did get quite a couple of crashs at multiple occassions on multiple systems other than that. anyhow the game´s true kamige tier despite its age, but yo, can already see them pseudo purists whining because of no ero being in there.

for many readers the biggest issue will be to get the game even running rather than the language barrier, glad i got its dreamcast version like over a decade ago

actually aroduc´s been quite interested in doing force, it´s just those technical shenanigans which kept screwing his butt, no idea what happened after/during/in the meantime, guess we´ll see, or not, probably

personally no idea why and why not, not even sure any more which title(s) in particular he´s been talking about. also no real idea what means profitable to them in terms of numbers or whatnot, but regardless of that, releasing things in an unfavourable state should be a big no-no, doesn´t matter if it´s aaa+ or most cheaply written indie trash - no fukking no customer should normally ever feel the need to manually patch stuff x-times before acceptable, that´s just awful, possible delay otherwise or not. basically like u ordering a mercedes and getting one with only 3seats, then after complaining being told to fukk off because it´s able to drive, so no rights to whine

Isn´t it almost always the case coming to those? dovac even commented on this issue not that long ago, like there´s no need wasting ressources on certain titles which aren´t expected to generate much profit, btw no doing additional editing/QC´ing to no delay releases any further

you sure love using those harsh words, eh? dunno if it´s intended or just poorly/unlucky worded, but i think the statement as a whole comes across a lot more negative then it probably should. regarding sakurasakura, it´s solpress´s 1st project, and in retrospect they simply shouldn´t have made any release estimates public. on the other hand, if they hadn´t been working on upscaling things & other technical whatnot, people also would´ve complained upon release, like you know those ever nagging hd-ultra fetishists, giving a fuck about actual plot as long as all is shiny. btw you using the term "untrustworthy" here is also no good. not wanting to whiteknight them, but like mentioned it´s one project out of god knows how many + they´d been semi-regularly putting out weekly/monthly wrap-ups & did release a small bunch of products as of now. & about frontwing milking their franchise, phantom trigger being a whole new series aside, which company really isn´t? not to mention them also releasing other titles along the lines, 3rd party and own. doesn´t really make sense to me

potentially slow as fukk because of him being at the same time responsible for like half of mangagamer + x, though maggot baits doesn´t really progress that much at snail pace, at least when compared to your average non arunaru-esque dude

personally i really like their commitment to no kickstarting their way to stability. don´t think their core-employees are natural born billionairs by default, nevertheless they won´t shove financial risks onto their customers from the get go. dunno about taking loans, selling their mom´s suv, or whatsnot, as for i don´t really care. every kind of buiseness faces some sorts of risks, but so far them staying true to their very first blog-post feels pleasantly refreshing.

IMHO fureraba´s tl turned out exactly as it should´ve been like when compared to its jp-pendant. typos & whatsnot aside, the style very much had to be that way. heck if someone can´t live with youth slang, excessive swearing & encountering lots of "fucks", reading galge that´s 99% nothing but pubertarian escapades should be avoided in the first place. if anything their choice of wording did seem quite authentic said way, totally like i would´ve expected them to speak, whilst no feeling pretentious. heck if the language used had been more tame, or lets say family-friendly, fureraba´s experience would´ve ended up ruined, simple as that. heck fureraba is no kafka enlighting mankind, but a dude trying to get his first fuck. jesus

true, but on the other hand licensing past titles to either party should be a possibility as well, like there´s no real reason why jp-devs would say no to both languages being handled by the same ones, except for titles which are already out of question, eg. maitetsu

i´d say maybe. whilst hikari field has already licensed it, that only applies to its chinese version. can´t really see moonstone being against an english one (why would they even), so if mangagamer doesn´t want to (assuming moonstone gives them priority) then there´s a rather good chance nekonyan will do if interested in it. think that´s also the whole point of their blogpost, like things going more smooth with developers when coming up with guarantied dual language releases.

so if i´m not mistaken nekonyan teaming up with hikari field basically means both parties have access to all titles each of them has has already licensed aka monobeno, tayutama and more. sounds like a pretty great deal + being able to reach out to potentially 1billion customers is never a bad thing

my mainpoint still being, and especially since ur a rather small-ish company, to at least think about releasing titles at other places (creating an own storefront, gog, fakku etc), given how long it took steam to give u a thumbs up coming to newrin. & even if steam´s the biggest one out there, calling the most users their own, having sold some copies anywhere else until they might give approval is definitely better than none. btw personally i don´t really mind them episodic stories, as long as they keep releasing in a somewhat timely manner (absolutely no much longer than 6months between) & don´t feel any dragged out for the sake of dragging out storywise.

yotsunoha should probably be coming out in the no so distant future, but sakura... like i´m fully aware the game´s now basically done, doddlers assistance in upscale shenanigans etc, but - the fact solpress hasn´t really made any move of them selling their titles anywhere else than steam does no mean any good. newrin´s approval seemingly took ages and i doubt it´s going to be any better with sakura or whatever title the is

u can also read it in chinese upon release, and if theres a bunch of retards actually buying its engrish version on steam, so be it. as long as it nets them enough money to localize more titles i couldnt care less where it comes from. btw start blaming the devs for even throwing their eng licenses at them in the first place, just saying.

i bet there´s actually A WHOLE LOT more people going for its 17+ version than many think there are. like it´s basically the complete game, just without the porn, so said version should be perfect for reading on tablets etc when being among others. no risk of getting weird looks when suddenly stumbling upon h-scenes. at home is at home. and not everyone feels comfortable viewing porn in public. of cource there´s also others who dislike h-scenes in general.

btw when ur trying to make fun of jast by introducing the soon meme to the community, but ultimately end up pretty much same

some people getting hired, others dismissed, such is the way of anyone trying to do buiseness. nothing unusual, nothing concerning. but what´s concerning is how they seemingly got disposed of without much proper notice beforehand, feels abit inhuman to me, like sure it´s called human ressources, but...

distinctly reminded at how mikandi burned their ks-money in a similar way

of course someone else is inevitably getting the rights to all of their ip´s in case of a bankruptcy, like creditors/debt holders for example. this usually doesnt terminate existing licenses in the process, but companies holding onto these are then forced to work out whom to consult when facing all sorts of shenanigans , btw asking for support etc etc etc. whilst technical not impossible getting licenses of dead-ish companies, this might funtamentically aggravate everything, even more so in cases of rights being transfered to anyone who´s totally not involved in anything galge, eg. credit institutes etc, therefore unable of lending localizer XY a helping hand when a sudden need arises.

2 out of 3 garbo tl´s that´re being officially released in the west are nothing but divine punishment.

as far as i remember the company wasnt bancrupt yet, it´s just jast being jast eg. who knows if they´d survived if the game hadnt been in works for what feels like a decade.

mg´s tl´ers are already super busy marathonning rance & gang, anymore massive gameplay-ish stuff and they´re sure to slit their throats whilst raping donkeys

whilst lune remains erogemaker no1 (only the mainbrand), at least to me, "sukebe elf no mori e" is one of its more weak titles, definitely not bad, but pales in comparison with others like fuurinkanzan or jutai hen.

no idea where you´ve got that idea from, but in case you didn´t know, chuable went bancrupt aka financial shenanigans. no clue as who currently holds them rights to their titles, but as far as i remember there aren´t that many localizers around proactively going for dead meat
